re: Texas should be in the sec

West Virginia left Virginia to stay in the Union.

It doesn't get much more Southeast than Missouri. Let's face it, Dixie died in the Southeast and moved to the Midwest and Great Plains.

The SEC really should’ve added teams from VA and NC. NC State and UVA would’ve been perfect.

Huh? Have you ever been to UVA? Not a fit. Va Tech....yes.

One thing i will give UT is that they are not arrogant and selfish like they used to be. Im glad that the university has become more humble.

Best troll I've ever seen here!

To the OP: You are an idiot.

Auburn vs. Texas A&M in Auburn, Alabama:

Football: 0-3
Basketball: 0-5

frick NO! Missouri WAS BAD ENOUGH!!!

It is not beyond the realm of possibility that could happen but I have also heard they could wind up in the PAC also. It's all according to how the next conference realignments go, if there are any.

Honestly, Arkansas needs to join the Big 12. Think about the lack of talent Arkansas has in general. Think about what it would take for Arkansas to overcome the SEC West now that A&M is there. It's just impossible. Sure. They'll beat Bama again eventually, and they'll even beat A&M at some point, even though they've yet to do it since A^M has joined its rightful place in the SEC.

But what are the chances that when they do that, it's just a fluke? It's just a numbers game. Let's imagine that if Arkansas joins the Big 12 they are the third best team on their schedule in any given year, and their win percentage against the two best teams is something like 20% and 30%, the next two is 60 and 65%, and then the bottom 4 teams on their schedule they have an 85%, 90%, 95%, and 98% chance of beating.

What you're basically saying is that Oklahoma and tu would beat them most years, two other teams would be close, but Arkansas would be better than, and then the bottom 4 would be layups most year. Which is what Kansas/Iowa State/Baylor/Tech should be.

That's in any given year a probably of 1.667% of going undefeated and 13.164% chance of going 7-1. Going 7-1 isn't a guarantee at a title, probably only 2/3rds of the time, but that's still close to Arkansas winning one out of every ten Big 12 Titles simply by the fact that they'd be the third best team.



Now what about the SEC where Arkansas is always going to be behind Bama, Auburn, LSU and Daddy A&M?

Let's say their win percentages drop to 15% against Alabama, 20% against Daddy A&M, 25% against Auburn, 30% against LSU, and then the bottom 4 are actually like like the 3rd-6th hardest games in the Big 12.

That's in any given year a probably of 0.0671% of going undefeated and 1.107% chance of going 7-1.

You're look at 1/100 years. It's been 26 years so far. Arkansas just doesn't have it in them. They need to run and hide to the Big 12.

Look, I know Arkansas fans have will say they've made the SEC Title Game before, and they can do it again, but that's when they were still arguably at times the 4th best team on their schedule. Dropping from 4th to 5th is the statistical cliff. And that cliff is extra steep now that Daddy A&M has arrived.

This has been discussed constantly for 26 years. Sadly for ya'll tFlagship is here to stay.

Why would I be sad that the piglets are staying? It's an easy win for A&M.

Congrats on beating Bert (It took OT). History says ya'll will struggle going forward with Arkansas
